Oral Cancer and Hpv Speech Outline

I. While we are in class today, 6 people will die from oral cancer. Three out of the four are men between the ages of 25 and 55. Before being diagnosed, these individuals probable ate a good diet and exercised regularly. Most did not use tobacco products and seldom drank alcohol.

II. Oral cancers have been on the rise over the last decade with the amount of cases doubling in the United States alone. It has catapulted oral cancer from 11th on the overall number of cancer cases to number 5. Smoking and drinking have always been the primary causative agents in oral cancers.

III. You may be thinking to yourselves, I don’t drink or smoke so why does this matter to me? That was my thought when my uncle was diagnosed with oral cancer in the end of 2008. Two months later when my step dad was diagnosed, I looked into oral cancer a little bit more but figured he was a truck driver before he met my mom, he probably lived a hard life. It was a real hard time for my mom and I felt sorry for her having to go through what she did with him while he was getting treated. I went to visit him the day after his last radiation treatment and cried when I saw how much the treatment had taken from him. The doctors had told them in the beginning that they were going to take a seemingly healthy man to the very brink of death where they would hold him for about 12-14 days and then slowly bring him back and they weren’t kidding. The week following my visit, my husband was diagnosed with the same cancer and I became an oral cancer advocate. Good thing I did because I have had 2 uncles, a brother in law, and two close friends that have suffered the same fate.

IV. There is a pandemic in regards to the number of new cases of oral cancer occurring annually. The number of smokers has decreased dramatically over the last 10 years but the number of cases of oral cancer diagnosed annually has gone from 300,000 cases to 650,000 cases...

Smokeless Tobacco and OralCancer
Like cigarettes, smokeless tobacco products contain a variety of toxins associated with cancer (The American Dental Association, 2011). Smokeless tobacco is not burned, but it is chewed and is also known as chewing tobacco, oral tobacco, spit or spitting tobacco, dip, chew, and snuff (National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health, 2010). According to the National Cancer Institute, “People in many regions and countries, including North America, Northern Europe, India and other Asian countries, and parts of Africa, have a long history of using smokeless tobacco products” (National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health, 2010). There are two types of smokeless tobacco: Chewing tobacco and snuff (National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health, 2010).
Chewing tobacco is usually placed between the cheeks and lower lips, towards the back of the mouth, while snuff is pinched or pouched between the checks and gums or behind the upper or lower lip (National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health, 2010).

...Introduction
Clap clap clap Class! Sit still.
Michael, don’t pick your nose. Nicole, no doodling! It is story time.
Today we are telling the story of The Peasant Princess.
Once upon a time there was a poor peasant girl.
She had no education but she was bright, intelligent, driven. Modest
One day Prince Charming came along and swept the poor peasant girl off her feet (quite literally but then you’ve already heard that story).
Prince Charming brought the peasant girl back to his castle. He told his Peasant Princess that she would want for nothing.
Well this was new. “If I want for nothing, then what want do I want?”
She thought long and hard about what she could do with her life.
The Peasant Princess finally had an opportunity for a proper education.
She loved children, and she spent all of her free time creating art projects.
Why not combine all the things she loves? Education, Kids, Arts…
Do you see where this is going?
As an elementary art teacher, she could spend every day doing all the things she loves.
And they lived happily ever after! Well yes they did however this isn’t the end of our story.
Soon thereafter, Prince Charming 's kingdom was overthrown by an evil king named Private Equity Firm.
Private Equity took over the kingdom and stripped the Prince of his throne.
Once again, the Prince and Princess were struggling peasants. No longer could she invest her time and limited resources in a future career that would...

General Purpose: To argue
Specific Purpose: To argue the point that green cars aren’t any better than non green cars.
Thesis Statement: The government and certain car manufacturing companies shouldn’t be promoting energy conserving vehicles as zero emissions vehicles because 1) the process of manufacturing electric cars pollutes the environment; 2) recharging the car uses a tremendous amount of fossil fuels; 3)The cost to manufacture an electric and hybrid vehicle is tremendous.
Introduction
I. (Attention Getter) The U.S. Government has wasted billions of dollars to develop electric cars to replace gasoline and diesel vehicles on the premise that they are “cleaner” for the environment. We have also been told that they are far cheaper to operate. However, new information reveals that the “green” cars may not be so “green” after all.
II. (Justification) President Obama calls for 1 million electric plug-in cars to be on American roads by 2015 and it hasn’t happened for good reason.
A. While it appears that the goal is within reach in terms of production capacity, initial costs and lack of familiarity with technology could be barriers. (Keller)
B. Consumers remain wary of the cars’ limited range, higher price and the logistics of battery-charging. (Lomborg)
III. (Credibility Statement) I work in the auto industry so I am intrigued when the industry and the government make claims for...

Informative Speech
An informative speech explains something you're interested in or describes how to do something. Here are a few guidelines on how to write an informative speech.
1. In order to give a good informative speech first thing you have to do Is to choose a good topic, and if you are doing your speech for school, pick a topic you are familiar with. It will help you to be a better speaker.
2. It will be helpful if you will include things you do and like into your speech. But it does not mean that you have to talk about stuff you know, make sure to do a good research and try to find something new and significant for you and of course your listeners.
3. It is important to narrow down your topic, so you can be able to cover your topic in the time allotted.
4. If you are making speech about popular stuff like obesity, bullying etc make sure you do a good research and try to find stuff people might do not know, at this point your speech won’t be boring.
5. From your list of topics, choose one to develop into your thesis. Your thesis is simply a specific statement expressing clearly in a single sentence what exactly you're going to do.
The last significant thing you have to know is that thesis has to be as specific as possible.
